Lyrics

Goodbye Blue Sky

[Spoken Intro: Harry Waters]

Look, Mummy!

There's an aeroplane up in the sky

[Verse 1: David Gilmour]

Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Did-did-did-did you see the frightened ones?

Did-did-did-did you hear the falling bombs?

Did-did-did-did you ever wonder why we had to run for shelter when the promise of a brave new world unfurled beneath the clear blue sky?

[Verse 2: David Gilmour]

Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Did-did-did-did you see the frightened ones?

Did-did-did-did you hear the falling bombs?

The flames are all long gone, but the pain lingers on

[Outro: David Gilmour]

Goodbye, blue sky

Goodbye, blue sky

Goodbye

Goodbye
